Steele is ignorant of first century Christian encouragements, if a slave became a Christian, he was encouraged to serve his Roman master as if he were serving Christ. in Steles view he should revolt. Fact is slavery was used to pay debt and provide for oneself and family. the Romans had slaves to serve them.

My claim of causing family division came from an aboriginal with Caucasian cousins. Steeles response to that fact shows his small mind.

Dear CM,

You write: "Nietzsche believes that many western secular concepts are rooted in Christianity."

Fine. But you haven't said the notion of equal opportunity was one of them so was the point really worth making?

Dear Josephus,

Under your framing the world would still abounding in unfettered slavery. Toxic faux Christianity of full display.

In the biblical sense a slave is someone who is working for basic wages I.e. working for someone else rather than themselves or self-employed.

Again, Steele has no idea, The Apostle Paul and Jesus' stepbrother James considered themselves as servants / slaves of Jesus Christ and performed their mission without any form of reimbursement. They were often beaten and stoned even to the point of death. They did what Christ commanded them to do - be a witness of his to the Jew and the gentiles. It is unfortunate that Steel will not serve another without expecting equivalent return. It is on this basis that Christian Charities work, in the hope of improving another's life not for self-reward. He cannot understand that in his view everything must be done for personal profit.

Josephus,
Effort & decency for the well-being of all is not in the Left’s dictionary !

Jose'

You start with a falsehood, James was not the stepbrother of Jesus, he was Jesus's full brother, puts a spanner into the immaculate conception idea. Saul Of Tarsus (Paul The Apostle) claimed to be the superior disciple as he believed the spiritual Jesus spoke through him, whereas the chosen 12 only knew the earthly Jesus and those earthly teachings, he on the other hand received divine instruction. James had a different view to Paul, believing the "Jesus Sect", existed and was part of the Jewish religion and should remain so, James never preached Resurrection of his brother, nor did he preach a universal church with gentiles included. Gentiles were accepted, but had to conform to strict Jewish protocols and laws, like adult circumcision, rather nasty. James remained an important religious and political member of the Jerusalem Temple Sanhedrin until he was assassinated in the Temple sometime around 65AD.
